Fame | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 20; Flight & UK

I woke up several hours later and noticed that I had my seat belt on and also that my seat was made into a bed, the partition wall was up and I had a sandwich on my little desk along with a bottle of water.

Before doing anything else I grabbed the sandwich and ate it in peace while listening to awesome music from awesome artists.

After that I shove both Andre's & my TV down so I could see him. "Andre," I whispered since I heard snoring from somewhere. He looked up from his computer and grinned at me.

"When are we there?" I asked since I didn't check the time nor the TV on the ceiling to show me where we were and how long it would take to get to our destination.

"About four more hours. You slept for good six, I would say."

I nodded and looked around a little, spotting someone who was currently laughing and talking with some guy I didn't know. "Andreeee," I called a little terrified of what he was going to say.

"Yea?" he smirked as he looked up from his computer once again. "Is that freaking Shawn Mendes?" I asked as quiet as I possibly could so I wouldn't take any chances of him actually hearing me.

"Indeed he is."

"Wow, what a coincidence," I said in awe as I stared at the handsome and talented guy.

"Yea...coincidence," Andre quickly winked at me before putting the TVs back up and getting back to whatever he was doing on his computer. Probably, playing games while pretending that he was actually 'working'.

I adjusted my comfy sweater and pulled up my tights a little more before getting up and walking towards the toilette. They told me I would meet the artist I was touring with in the UK or was this some kind of joke and Shawn would be the one I was touring with?

Oh my god that would be the best and the worst news at the same time.

I washed my hands and was just about to get back to my seat when I bumped into someone. "Sorry," I muttered a little embarrassed.

"No problem, Jamila."

I looked up with wide eyes and stood right in front of the guy who came straight from heaven. I mean, Shawn.

I stood there speechless, making him raise his eyebrow before he let out a light chuckle. "Hey," I breathed out probably embarrassing myself even more. "Hey," he smiled widely at me before I snapped out of my trance and finally let him through to go to the toilette as well.

My face was on fire as I walked back to my seat. Ellie sat in her seat with a magazine in her hands as she stared at me and laughed like she just witnessed the funniest thing in the world and even Andre looked like he was having problems to breath.

"You assholes," I muttered as a tear rolled down Ellie's cheek because of all the laughing. It wasn't even that funny.

I finally sat back down in my seat and made it back into a chair before I turned the TV on and watched whatever was on. To my luck I could choose between Rogue One and Marley & Me. I watched Marley & Me a thousand times so I choose Rogue One: A Starwars Story.

Suddenly I got hit in the face with an object. I looked down on my lap and saw a piece of paper, crumbled into a ball. I unfolded it and saw a desktop screenshot of Shawn Mendes' website.

Shawn Mendes
Illuminate World Tour
w/ Jamila Carver

I jumped up from my seat and stared at Andre who had thrown this to me. "You're kidding right?" I asked as I ripped out my headphones, not even having the time to pause the movie.

"I'm not," he shrugged and winked at me, yet again.

I was speechless as I looked at the paper once again and sat back down to calm my nerves. On a world tour with a guy I wasn't even able to speak with without totally embarrassing myself? Great.

I mean I am excited and incredibly happy but also kind of stressing about the fact that I couldn't keep my cool when I see him let alone talk to him.

"Do we have wifi here?" I asked Andre, standing up once again to see if he had heard me. "Yes, just ask for the password."

I stood up and went to where the flight attendants were, knowing that I could've pressed a button to just let someone come but it wasn't like I couldn't get up myself.

"Hello Miss Carver," a blonde woman around the age of Ellie & Lena said with a bright smile on her face. "Hey. Please call me Mila," I offered first thing since I wasn't that old to be called with my last name.

She nodded and I asked her for the password and also for candy which I got to choose. I took some cookies and a Haribo package before getting back to my seat without taking a glance at Shawn.

How will I survive several months on tour with Shawn?

-

I slung my backpack over my shoulder and exited the plane with everyone who was going with Shawn & I on tour. We all walked to the baggage claim and waited for our hundreds of bags. I talked with Ellie & Lena about fashion while my few crew members got along really well with all of Shawn's.

He was standing with a few guys on the other side of the baggage claim. "I'm gonna embarrass myself at least once a day," I buried my face in my hands, groaning.

"This is gonna be so much fun," Ellie clapped and took one of her bags from the claim. I glared at her, making her laugh. Several vans & taxis were outside just for us and of course fans & paparazzi's were here who were already taking pictures of us through the glass windows.

It was 10:30 in the morning right now and today Shawn & I had rehearsals for the tour. Shawn had already started because he had the weeks before tour off while I didn't but it was fine.

Before rehearsals we would get to our hotel and relax or eat something. We should be leaving around two in the afternoon so we had some time.

My band was already here so they weren't on the flight with us. My band consisted of two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer a pianist and for one song a violinist who I'm really excited to be on stage with. However, sometimes I only perform with one of my guitarists and/or pianist because I don't need anyone else on stage with me.

"Do you think he's added me on Snapchat?" I asked Lena. She shrugged and I looked it up to see that he did add me. I snapped a picture of him with the caption 'OMG IS THAT SHAWN MENDES' and send it to just him.

A few minutes later I got a snap from him with a picture of me, grabbing one of the suit cases and the caption 'NO WAY BUT LOOK THATS JAMILA CARVER'.

I laughed and made an ugly selfie before sending that. Wow, we're on ugly selfie basis already?

He send me one back before coming over to me. Pull yourself together Jamila or he will never talk to you again. I smiled as he approached me and he returned the gesture.

"Hey," he greeted me totally ignoring our encounter earlier in the plane. Thank god.

"Hey," I said back with a grin.

"So I heard you didn't know you were going on tour with me until just a few hours ago?" he laughed, making me blush for whatever reason. "Yea, I have no idea why," except for the reason that I would've probably freaked out and wouldn't have been focused until the day tour would start and also the fact that I love you for three years now.

"Well, I think we'll have a great time," he smiled as I nodded in agreement.

We sure will.
